Dirk, happy 2012! I'm amazed at how the plugin has evolved and I'm loving it. This may have been asked before, but is there a way to change the track sort order? If I select tracks by Artist/Album, then tracks are listed alphabetically rather than by order on the album. Could there be an option to sort by track number?

If you explain what you want to accomplish maybe I can figure something out. Reason I'm asking is because there are many ways to get to tracks. Example: you could have started with an artist, then album and ended up with tracks. I guess this would be the most straightforward case. You could have ended up with tracks by only specifying artist or a playlist or just a track name. In the latter cases, sorting by trackno might not make a lot of sense, so if it has to be "selection case sensitive", things get quite a bit more complex to implement.
So let me know what you want to do, sure we can figure something out.

Dirk, I think if the selection starts by Album or by Artist/Album then tracks should be listed by track number. I agree alphabetically makes sense when the Tracks button is clicked. Playlists should maintain their unique order that the tracks were added in. This would emulate the Sonos controller behavior.Author of Highpeak Plugins | SMS-Gateway Plugin | Blue Iris Plugin | Paradox (Beta) Plugin | Modbus Plugin | Yamaha Plugin

Sonos on the other hands has indeed the capability to sort by Track name, track number or file name, but it owns the music library, the plugin just uses it.
I'll have a look whether I can add an option to sort tracks by name or number.

Beta .78 should take care of this

By the way, you need to recreate your music library (click buildDB) for the tracknumbers to be stored properly !
